Menu Programming Navigation

The SpeedDome Ultra VIIE is programmed from on-screen menus that are accessible through your controller (keyboard, virtual keyboard, or Touch Tracker

The starting point for programming is the Configuration Menu. To access the menu on most controllers press and hold the following buttons in sequence:

Iris Open > Focus Far > Zoom Out

(Consult your keyboard manual for instructions if unable to access menu programming.)

When programming dome functions, the primary buttons used for navigation, item selection, and value increases or decreases are:

Joystick. The joystick allows you to move the cursor—represented by highlighting—around the menus. You can select a field when it is highlighted.

Focus Far button. Pressing the Focus Far button selects or enables a choice on a highlighted field.

Zoom In/Out button. Pressing the Zoom In/Out button scrolls a pre-determined list of values either up or down in a highlighted field.

Changing Camera Functions within Presets

When Presets are created, they adopt the dome parameters defined in the Camera Functions screen. You can now customize camera functions for each Preset by accessing the Camera Functions screen from the Preset screen.

Note: If you change the parameters in the Camera Functions Menu for an existing Preset, you will

need to reprogram the Preset to save the changes. Motion Detection Zones associated with the Preset will also require reprogramming.

Follow the steps below to change camera functions with Presets:

1. Access the Dome Configuration Menu

(Figure 2) by pressing Iris Open, Focus Far and Zoom Out on your controller.

Programming Motion Detection

Applicable Day/Night SpeedDome cameras are capable of providing motion detection based on Preset camera views. Motion detection can be programmed for any of the 96 Presets defined in the dome. The motion detection feature is programmed from the Select Preset to Program screen.

Understanding Motion Zones

Motion Detection is programmed by positioning motion zones (represented by rectangular blocks) within a Preset scene. When motion occurs within any of the motion zones, the dome will respond by triggering the action you programmed for it—either an output, a Preset, a Pattern, or by taking no action.

You can create up to eight motion zones for every Preset scene. An example of a Preset scene with one motion zone is shown in Figure 6
